Tests have proved that this fat, which is now being marketed as a natural dietary supplement, found in red meat and dairy products, may produce an average reduction of 6lbs in just 6 weeks! It works by regulating enzymes in fat cells - reducing the rate at which the body deposits fat. CLA is particularly helpful to yo-yo dieters, who tend to put weight back on after losing it. Raw beef contains 3.1mg of CLA per gram of fat, rising to 8.2mg in a well done steak. Tests were carried out on 60 volunteers and the results published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Half of those overweight were given CLA as a dietary supplement while the others were fed an inactive substance. All were given the option of light exercise and to moderate food intake. The researchers concluded that 3.4grams of CLA per day is enough to obtain beneficial effects. Dr. Ola Gudmensen, from Scandinavian Clinical Research in Norway who led the study said: This evidence supports previous observations that CLA is quite effective as a fat fighting supplement (Daily Mail, January 13th 2001).
Glutathione is a sulfur-containing, water-soluble, endogenous tripeptide composed of three amino acids and is a powerful endogenous antioxidant combating many of the free-radicals that cause allergies and liver damage. Many chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients have low levels of glutathione as do many alzheimers and parkinsons sufferers.

This double-blind study involved 22 people with stable angina. Each subject underwent an exercise stress test up to the point where changes on ECG indicated heart muscle strain. For three days, half the group received placebo while the other half received 2,000mg of arginine per day. The exercise stress test was then repeated. Patients in the placebo group experienced an increase in exercise time of approximately one minute. The patients receiving arginine increased the time that they could exercise without experiencing heart muscle strain by almost three minutes and ECG abnormalities were less in the arginine group compared to the placebo group.

L-Cysteine is a glucogenic, sulforous amino acid that is synthesized in the liver. It possesses anti-oxidant properties and may improve the defence response of the immune system. People with depressed immune function usually exhibit significantly depressed cysteine levels. Cysteine minimizes the toxic side-effects of chemotherapy. Discuss with medical practitioner if undergoing cancer treatment.
L-Lysine is an essential, basic amino acid. It may help to prevent the cross-linking of the bodys endogenous proteins (glycosylation) - this is one of the underlying manifestations of the aging process. Anemia may occur as a result of Lysine deficiency. Lysine (5,000mg per day) may help to reduce the symptoms of angina. Hair loss may occur as a result of Lysine deficency, may accelerate the healing of the lesions associated with Herpes simplex viruses.

Keats Publishing, New Canaan, Connecticut, USA. 1997:230. Ornithine increases polyamines levels and low polyamines are a possible biomarker for Alzheimers disease. By increasing polyamines (which are known to facilitate the repair of damaged axons), ornithine may be beneficial for Alzherimers disease patients.
